3ddeskd(1)			 User Commands			    3ddeskd(1)

NAME
       3ddeskd - starts	the daemon for 3D-Desktop, a 3D	desktop	switcher.

SYNOPSIS
       3ddeskd [ OPTIONS ]

DESCRIPTION
       This  is	 the  server  for 3ddesk.  3ddeskd runs	at all times to	reduce
       load time and maintain a	persistent state.  In order for	3ddesk to work
       the server needs	to be running in the background	before you can go  3D.
       Just  run  "3ddeskd" to start it.  Give the --acquire option to acquire
       cached versions of all your desktops.  It  will	cycle  thru  all  your
       desktops/workspaces.   3ddesk  activates	 the  server  and  gives you a
       fullscreen.

       You only	need to	start 3ddeskd once.  If	you run	3ddesk and it sees the
       server isn't started it will attempt to start it	for you.

       When you	start 3ddesktop	without	--acquire you will not see the	images
       of  your	 other	desktops.  It can only take a snapshot of your current
       desktop -- so either it must acquire them initially by cycling  through
       all  of	them  or  they will not	show up	until you move from them using
       3ddesktop.  Your	other virtual desktops will show  up  but  only	 after
       you've been to them.

       The  texture  for the current desktop is	acquired when you start	3ddesk
       so once you start 3ddesk	from each virtual desktop  your	 screens  will
       all  show up.  They will	only stay consistent if	you only use 3ddesk to
       switch desktops (if you don't use another pager).  Mess around with  it
       and you will see	how it works.

OPTIONS
       3ddeskd accepts the following options:

       --acquire[=#]
	      Grab  images  for	 all the desktops by cycling thru (sleep for #
	      millisecs	at each	screen for refresh)

       --mirror
	      Mirror the current desktop image to all the other	desktop	faces.
	      This is a	clever alternative to acquire.

       --dir=/path
	      The install dir if different than	/usr/share/3ddesktop

       --wm=  Specify the Windowmanager	type so	all the	virtual	 desktops  are
	      found  correctly.	  Available  options  are: kde2, kde3, gnome1,
	      gnome2, ewmh, fluxbox, windowmaker, enlightenment,  sawfishonly,
	      workspaces

       --texturesize=#
	      Size  of texture for the desktop images (larger for more detail)
	      in powers	of 2. Default is 1024, values from 16 to 2048 are  ac-
	      cepted.

       --fastest
	      Hog the CPU for smoothest	operation

       -v     Verbose/debug information

       --version
	      Output version information and exit
